Jack from Farmingdale, NJ has been a Green Sun Energy Services client since August of 2017. He and Karen signed in late August and the generator was running by the end of September, five weeks start to finish, a 16 kW Generac in an aluminum enclosure on its own pad with a 150-amp service-rated transfer switch. Aluminum matters this close to the coast, where a steel enclosure gives up first. A Generac service contract has kept it maintained since. Farmingdale is in Monmouth County.
Glen and his team made this an easy project to complete. They are a very organized and professional company. All the work was performed on schedule with little involvement on my part. We are very happy with the Generac whole house generator installation and operation.
Green Sun Energy Services replied
Jack, thank you for taking the time to share this. It's great to hear the 16 kW Generac installation went smoothly from your end — five weeks from signing to a running generator is exactly the kind of timeline we aim for. We've enjoyed working with you and Karen since 2017 and look forward to keeping that unit in good shape for years to come.
Why Jack chose Green Sun Energy Services
Complete backup power, from sizing and installation to the service that keeps it ready.

Standby generator questions from Farmingdale homeowners
Can the existing natural-gas service in a Farmingdale home supply a generator?
Often yes, but the gas system has to be evaluated first. The review covers the generator's BTU demand, meter capacity, available pressure, regulator capacity, pipe diameter and length, and every other gas appliance in the house -- furnace, boiler, water heater, range and fireplace among them.
What does a standby generator sit on?
A stable, level support system allowed by the model's installation instructions. Depending on the machine and the site that can be an approved composite base, a prepared aggregate base, a concrete pad, or an engineered elevated platform.
How can a whole house be carried on a smaller electrical service?
Through load management. One or more large loads are controlled so they do not start at the same moment, or shut down briefly if generator demand climbs too high. That is what allows whole-house coverage where the raw sum of every connected load would otherwise exceed the machine.
